Chapter 738 Yelu Hongji, the Outspoken Daliao Emperor (First Update)
Chapter 747

"Your Majesty, I believe that we, Daliao, should send troops to aid Xixia. Xixia has already worshiped me, Daliao, as its suzerain, and also honored my Daliao clan's daughter as its queen. In this way, the relationship between Daliao and Xixia has become an alliance. trend."

"Song State has always been jealous of the land of Xixia. Why, isn't it because the land where Xixia occupies is fertile and rich in water and grass. If Song State takes it, it will not be difficult to get [-] war horses a year."

"There is almost no difference in the number of armies between our Daliao and Song dynasties. The victor will be like the wind in our Daliao's cavalry, and our soldiers are brave. However, our Daliao also has worries, that is, the tribes in the north..."

In his early forties, he was in the prime of life and was participating in politics as a governor. Privy Councilor Ye Luyan was talking in an orderly manner, and all the ministers and ministers were silently listening to his words.

After hearing Yeluyan's suggestion, Yelu Hongji finally stopped hesitating and nodded slightly. "Your words are very much in line with my wishes. Since this is the case, then I, Daliao, should indeed show the power of my Daliao to the world..."

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of my minister, I am a tiger in Liao Dynasty, so I should not move lightly." Seeing that Yelu Hongji was moved by her own words, Yeluyan did not show much joy, but raised her own objection.

"What do you mean by your words? Don't you think that I, Daliao, should send troops to conquer the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Hongji himself was a little confused. Could it be that my ears are too old to hear me wrong?

"This is natural, but Daliao only needs a small number of troops. We can order the tribes in the north to be the vanguard..." Yeluyan finally stated his purpose.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and their eyes all fell on this young and powerful Privy Council chief.

Yelu Hongji narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and raised his chin towards Yeluyan, beckoning him to continue.

"Your Majesty, our Daliao army is the most prosperous. However, our Daliao has a vast territory and is even more powerful than the Song Dynasty. There are too many important places that need heavy troops to guard. Therefore, there are not many soldiers that can be dispatched."

"However, in the northern part of Daliao, although all the ministries belong to Daliao, there are disputes from time to time, which disturb the northern part of Daliao without end..."

Yeluyan's intention was very vicious, which meant that the many tribes in northern Daliao often acted against Daliao, causing chaos in northern Daliao, which was very troublesome.

Since they are so brave and aggressive, it is better to give them a chance to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and let them send troops to the south with our Daliao army, and let them go to the land of Song and Xia to vent their never-ending energy.

Since the Song State has become stronger in this way, it is just right to use the hands of the Song State to consume the strength of the northern tribes of the Great Liao Dynasty.Moreover, there has always been discord among the various ministries, and as long as a little calculation is made, the various ministries can fight for meritorious service and fight the enemy bravely.

In this way, I am afraid that Daliao can regain the land of the three states without losing the power of a single soldier. pressure.

Following his rhetoric, all courtiers and workers could not help but nod their heads repeatedly, and they all stood up to support Yeluyan's suggestion, which is definitely beneficial to the current Daliao.

The important thing is that unlike the emperor who was either busy writing poems and songs all day long, drinking and having fun, or riding horses to hunt around, after Yelu Yixin's death, his party members were purged, and the atmosphere in the court became clear. , However, these courtiers in the court also realized that Daliao was now in danger.

Just like Xixia was conquered by the Song Dynasty one after another, losing troops and generals, and losing thousands of miles of fertile land, which had aroused the vigilance of many ministers in the Liao Dynasty.

Because they knew very well that once Xixia was wiped out, they would have to recuperate their strength and have no worries around the unparalleled wealth of the Song Dynasty, and they would be able to face the Liao Dynasty with all their strength.

Therefore, Daliao must make a proper response at this critical juncture. It cannot let Xixia fall, but should continue to support Xixia against Song, so that it cannot focus on Daliao.

However, since Yelu Hongji came to the throne in Daliao, he ignored the state affairs and trusted traitors and sycophants to take charge of the government. As a result, the administration of Daliao officials collapsed, and the people suffered unspeakably.

However, the northern frontier suffered from repeated attacks, and even became more and more severe.Although Daliao has many soldiers and generals, the government has been corrupted for many years, and the soldiers have no fighting power and will not fight. big question.

Even if it was because Xixia was repeatedly tricked by Song State, resulting in successive defeats, it is also a fact that Song State's armor is being updated, which can improve the combat capabilities of their soldiers.

Another big problem is that once Daliao and Song are confronted head-on, once they are defeated, the consequences will not only end with the outcome of a war.

It is very likely to cause the worst consequences and a series of reactions.As for making those northern tribes who were originally obedient and obedient feel that the current Daliao is already too big and useless, it will even turn them from a group of domestic dogs with bad tempers into vicious wolves who want to bite their masters back.

Therefore, the best choice is to drive the troops of these northern tribes to go south together, and promise them high officials and rich salary, or other benefits.

At that time, the war with the Song Dynasty, even if it is a victory, will consume the military strength of the tribes. If it is a defeat, then the most serious loss will be the military strength of the tribes, and the Liao Dynasty can also borrow They launched an attack and took out several of the tribes who usually least listened to the Liao court as the culprits to punish.

In short, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they can drive the armies of the northern tribes into the Xia territory, Daliao has already won half of the battle.

This idea made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gradually smile, and expressed their admiration for this resourceful Privy Councilor.

Although Yelu Hongji hated and slacked off on politics, at least he was not a fool, and he quickly figured out from Yeluyan's strategy that it would be of great benefit to Daliao and no harm.

Can't help showing approval, nodded to Yeluyan and said with a smile. "Qing is worthy of being the pillar of my great Liao Dynasty, and I have not misjudged you. This matter, let's do it this way, and I just happen to exercise my muscles and bones..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to conquest yourself?" Yeluyan's complacent expression hadn't subsided before she was stunned by Yelu Hongji's words.

"Although I am over [-] years old, I can still ride a healthy horse and gallop hundreds of miles every day, draw a bow of three stones, and shoot hawks in the sky, why can't I go for it myself?" Yelu Hongji stroked his long beard proudly and began to blow. It's awesome.

All the ministers and workers of the Daliao Dynasty looked at the Daliao emperor who was over [-] years old in shock. Are we blind or deaf? Didn’t you say that you don’t want to go to war with Song? People's friendship is stronger than that of Jin Jian, why do you want to recruit yourself in a blink of an eye?

Please don't make such a dramatic turn, okay?Turning the steering wheel too sharply may cause an accident.
